Content Quality Auditor
Stop publishing content that underperforms. This skill runs a rigorous 80-item CORE-EEAT audit across 8 dimensions — giving you a clear publish/fix/block verdict, weighted scores by content type, and a prioritized action plan so you know exactly what to improve before hitting publish.
How to start: Audit the quality of [URL] — get an 80-item scored report, a publish/fix/block verdict, and a ranked fix list with the 5 highest-impact improvements.
Use this when content needs a quality check before publishing — even if the user doesn't use audit terminology:
User asks "is this ready to publish" or "how good is this"
User just finished writing with seo-content-writer or content-refresher
PostToolUse hook auto-triggers: after content is written or substantially edited, the hook recommends this audit. When hook-triggered, skip setup questions — audit the content that was just produced.
Auditing content quality before publishing
Evaluating existing content for improvement opportunities
Benchmarking content against CORE-EEAT standards
Comparing content quality against competitors
Assessing both GEO readiness (AI citation potential) and SEO strength (source credibility)
Running periodic content quality checks as part of a content maintenance program
After writing or optimizing content with seo-content-writer or geo-content-optimizer
What This Skill Does
Full 80-Item Audit: Scores every CORE-EEAT check item as Pass/Partial/Fail
Dimension Scoring: Calculates scores for all 8 dimensions (0-100 each)
System Scoring: Computes GEO Score (CORE) and SEO Score (EEAT)
Weighted Totals: Applies content-type-specific weights for final score
Start with one of these prompts. Finish with a publish verdict and a handoff summary using the repository format in Skill Contract.
Audit Content

Run a content quality audit on [URL] as a [content type]
Audit with Content Type
CORE-EEAT audit for this product review: [content]
Score this how-to guide against the 80-item benchmark: [content]
Comparative Audit
Audit my content vs competitor: [your content] vs [competitor content]
Skill Contract
Gate verdict: SHIP (no veto items, dimension scores above threshold) / FIX (issues found but no veto) / BLOCK (veto item T04, C01, or R10 failed). Always state the verdict prominently at the top of the report.
Expected output: a CORE-EEAT audit report, a publish-readiness verdict, and a short handoff summary ready for memory/audits/content/.
Reads: the target content, content type, supporting evidence, and any prior decisions from CLAUDE.md and the shared State Model when available.
Writes: a user-facing audit report plus a reusable summary that can be stored under memory/audits/content/.
Promotes: veto items and publish blockers to memory/hot-cache.md (auto-saved, no user confirmation needed). Top improvement priorities to memory/open-loops.md.
Next handoff: use the Next Best Skill below once the verdict is clear.
With ~~web crawler + ~~SEO tool connected:
Automatically fetch page content, extract HTML structure, check schema markup, verify internal/external links, and pull competitor content for comparison.
With manual data only:
Ask the user to provide:
Content text, URL, or file path
Content type (if not auto-detectable): Product Review, How-to Guide, Comparison, Landing Page, Blog Post, FAQ Page, Alternative, Best-of, or Testimonial
Optional: competitor content for benchmarking
Proceed with the full 80-item audit using provided data. Note in the output which items could not be fully evaluated due to missing access (e.g., backlink data, schema markup, site-level signals).
Decision Gates
When stopping to ask, always: (1) state the specific value and threshold, (2) offer numbered options with outcomes.
Stop and ask the user when:
Content is under minimum word count for its type (blog/guide: 300 words; product/landing page: 150 words; FAQ: fewer than 3 entries with 50+ words each) — state the actual count and offer: (1) expand to minimum, (2) continue audit with Insufficient Data flags, (3) cancel
Content type cannot be auto-detected — state what you detected and ask to confirm before proceeding
Content is primarily media (video/image) with minimal text — ask whether to audit transcript, alt text, or skip
More than 50% of a dimension's items are N/A — name the dimension and ask: (1) provide supplementary data, (2) mark entire dimension as Insufficient Data
Any veto item triggers — flag it immediately with the item ID and ask: (1) stop for immediate fix, (2) continue full audit and flag in report
Continue silently (never stop for):
Individual Partial scores within a dimension
Missing SEO tool data (mark items as N/A and continue)
Low overall score (the report is the deliverable, not a judgment call)
User not specifying content type (auto-detect and state your assumption)
Instructions
When a user requests a content quality audit:
Step 1: Preparation
### Audit Setup**Content**: [title or URL]
**Content Type**: [auto-detected or user-specified]
**Dimension Weights**: [loaded from content-type weight table]
#### Veto Check (Emergency Brake)
| Veto Item | Status | Action |
|-----------|--------|--------|
| T04: Disclosure Statements | ✅ Pass / ⚠️ VETO | [If VETO: "Add disclosure banner at page top immediately"] |
| C01: Intent Alignment | ✅ Pass / ⚠️ VETO | [If VETO: "Rewrite title and first paragraph"] |
| R10: Content Consistency | ✅ Pass / ⚠️ VETO | [If VETO: "Verify all data before publishing"] |
If any veto item triggers, flag it prominently at the top of the report and recommend immediate action before continuing the full audit.
## CORE-EEAT Audit Report### Overview-**Content**: [title]
-**Content Type**: [type]
-**Audit Date**: [date]
-**Total Score**: [score]/100 ([rating])
-**GEO Score**: [score]/100 | **SEO Score**: [score]/100
-**Veto Status**: ✅ No triggers / ⚠️ [item] triggered
### Dimension Scores
| Dimension | Score | Rating | Weight | Weighted |
|-----------|-------|--------|--------|----------|
| C — Contextual Clarity | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| O — Organization | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| R — Referenceability | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| E — Exclusivity | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| Exp — Experience | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| Ept — Expertise | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| A — Authority | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| T — Trust | [X]/100 | [rating] | [X]% | [X] |
| **Weighted Total** | | | | **[X]/100** |
**Score Calculation**:
- GEO Score = (C + O + R + E) / 4
- SEO Score = (Exp + Ept + A + T) / 4
- Weighted Score = Σ (dimension_score × content_type_weight)
**Rating Scale**: 90-100 Excellent | 75-89 Good | 60-74 Medium | 40-59 Low | 0-39 Poor
### N/A Item Handling
When an item cannot be evaluated (e.g., A01 Backlink Profile requires site-level data not available):
1. Mark the item as "N/A" with reason
2. Exclude N/A items from the dimension score calculation
3. Dimension Score = (sum of scored items) / (number of scored items x 10) x 100
4. If more than 50% of a dimension's items are N/A, flag the dimension as "Insufficient Data" and exclude it from the weighted total
5. Recalculate weighted total using only dimensions with sufficient data, re-normalizing weights to sum to 100%
**Example**: Authority dimension with 8 N/A items and 2 scored items (A05=8, A07=5):
- Dimension score = (8+5) / (2 x 10) x 100 = 65
- But 8/10 items are N/A (>50%), so flag as "Insufficient Data -- Authority"
- Exclude A dimension from weighted total; redistribute its weight proportionally to remaining dimensions
### Per-Item Scores
#### CORE — Content Body (40 Items)
| ID | Check Item | Score | Notes |
|----|-----------|-------|-------|
| C01 | Intent Alignment | [Pass/Partial/Fail] | [observation] |

### Recommended Next Steps
- For full content rewrite: use `seo-content-writer` with CORE-EEAT constraints
- For GEO optimization: use `geo-content-optimizer` targeting failed GEO-First items
- For content refresh: use `content-refresher` with weak dimensions as focus
- For technical fixes: run `/seo:check-technical` for site-level issues
Save Results
After delivering findings to the user, ask:
"Save these results for future sessions?"
If yes, write a dated summary to the appropriate memory/ path using filename YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md containing:
One-line verdict or headline finding
Top 3-5 actionable items
Open loops or blockers
Source data references
If any veto-level issue was found (CORE-EEAT T04, C01, R10 or CITE T03, T05, T09), also append a one-liner to memory/hot-cache.md without asking.
Validation Checkpoints
Input Validation
Content source identified (text, URL, or file path)
Content type confirmed (auto-detected or user-specified)
Content is substantial enough for meaningful audit (≥300 words)
If comparative audit, competitor content also provided
Output Validation
All 80 items scored (or marked N/A with reason)
All 8 dimension scores calculated correctly
Weighted total matches content-type weight configuration
Veto items checked and flagged if triggered
Top 5 improvements sorted by weighted impact, not arbitrary
Every recommendation is specific and actionable (not generic advice)
Action plan includes concrete steps with effort estimates
Example
See references/item-reference.md for a complete scored example showing the C dimension with all 10 items, priority improvements, and weighted scoring.
Tips for Success
Start with veto items — T04, C01, R10 are deal-breakers regardless of total score
These veto items are consistent with the CORE-EEAT benchmark (Section 3), which defines them as items that can override the overall score.
Focus on high-weight dimensions — Different content types prioritize different dimensions
GEO-First items matter most for AI visibility — Prioritize items tagged GEO 🎯 if AI citation is the goal
Some EEAT items need site-level data — Don't penalize content for things only observable at the site level (backlinks, brand recognition)
Use the weighted score, not just the raw average — A product review with strong Exclusivity matters more than strong Authority
Re-audit after improvements — Run again to verify score improvements and catch regressions
Pair with CITE for domain-level context — A high content score on a low-authority domain signals a different priority than the reverse; run domain-authority-auditor for the full 120-item picture
